Searchable Database

Have you noticed how hard it is to find what decisions the Columbia Council has taken on an issue?Right now you have to go back and read through old minutes.I think the board, staff, and public would be better served if an online searchable database of board decisions were created.It seems much time is wasted and confusion caused over what the board has decided on and what actions the staff should be taken.To clear this situation up and bring organization to the board’s operations and its relationship with staff a unified searchable online database would significantly improve CA’s operation.

I don't mean to appear out of touch, but I am trying to following local Columbia Council elections through blogs, but some blog entries are not signed, so it's difficult for me to know who wrote what. This one seemed to be posted by Evan. It would be helpful to have a last name and the village he wants to represent. Thanks! I appreciate that he is putting himself out there for us.
